tions to Ite Bettered.
Urging a loyal co-operation on the
part of all sportsmen in the enforce
ment of the game laws of Oregon,
that the streams might be kept alive
with game fish and the covers with
game birds and animals, State Game
Warden W. L. Finley last night spoke
at length to the members of the Uma
tilla County Fish & Game association
met about the banquet board to par
take of the choice trout which their
prowess with hook and line had se
cured. Master Fish Warden H. E.
Clanto, who was to have been the
other guest of honor, excused himself
on account of illness.
Mr. Finley explained the results
which the state fish and game com
mission and the wardens hope to ob
tain und the plans they have In mind
for the accomplishment of these ends.
The propogation of game is the ulti
mate purpose, he said, the restocking
of the streams and covers, protection
during the closed season and preven
tion of ruthless slaughter during the
open season the principal means to
this end.
Game Refuge Near Pendleton,
Game refuges, inude possible by an
act of tho last legislature, he declared
would resist greatly in the introduc
ing of new game birds. By this act,
all of the state lands about state in
stitutions can be made into game re
serves and the 3000 ucres near Salem
have already been put to this use.
The grounds about thu branch asylum
near this city will also be used for
this purpose, Mr. Finley stating that
an inspection had proved to him that
conditions were Ideul und he an
nounced his intention of liberating
a number of China pheasants und
Bob White quail there soon.
Mr. Finley went on to say that by
law enforcement he meant a rational
obedience, un observance of the spir
it and not the letter of the game laws,
and he appealed to the sportsmen
who were Interested in preserving the
game to assist him in every way pos
sible to secure un enforcement.
Cranston Speaks.
E. K. Cranston of this city, chair
man of the state fish and game com
mission, was called upon to supple
ment the talk of the game warden.
During his speech he took occasion
to unnounce the Intention of the com
mission to leave Portland on July 6
for a tour of the state in order that
the members might secure first hand
Information of the needs of the dif
ferent sections. During the trip a stop
will be made in Pendleton, he said,
for the purpose of inspecting the pro
posed site for a hatchery at Gibbon
If the sportsmen of this vicinity were
sufficiently int. Tested to take ahem
there. The sportsmen present re
sponded with a unanimous vote to as
sist the commission in every possible
way dining lb'; short stay here.
Mr. (Yanston slated that everyone
knew i hat game protection In the past
has bei n a farce, and hat sportsmen
have had but poor returns tor the
money invested in licenses, but he
declared that it was the Intention of
the new commissioners to , remedy
th s condition if it Is possible.
Trook Trout for County.
In concluding ho announced that
ho is having Introduced Into Uma
tilla county streams the eastern brook
trout and he asked the fishermen to
assist him n this Introduction by
placing nil of this species which they
catch during the next year or two
back in the streams so that they can
spawn and thus increase the number.
And finally he appealed to all to as
sist the officers in enforcing the laws
so that the game of the state might
bo observed and propagated for their
future enjoyment and for the enjoy
ment of posterity.
Other Soakcrs.
Other short toasts were made by
Hon. W. H. Elll, Deputy Game War
den Thompson and Mark Moorhbuso,
with a number of extemporaneous
talks sandkiched in. J. H. Gwlnn
acted as tonstmaster and was largely
Instrumental In securing the good
feeling prevalent.
The banquet Itself was a sumptuous
one, the anglers having brought In
enough of the speckled beauties to
feed a regiment. It wns held In the
Quelle annex and lasted for two hours,
the banqueters taking their seals at 9
and remaining until 11.
CHIEF CAMPBELL ONLY

Portland, Ore., June 27. As
a result of the Union Oil com
pany's fire yesterday, agitation
was started today to compel the

COAL CASE RECORDS
STILL SEE'S DANGER IN
ALASKAN COAL FIELDS
Believes Control of Itailroads in Far

Als.
Washington, June 27. Demanding
that President Taft immediately pro
duce all records of the alleged at
tempt by the Morgan-Guggenheim
forces to monopolize the Alaskan coal
output by grabbing the water front
of Controller Bay, Senator Foindex
ter of Washington, today Introduced
a sensational resolution in
the Rtn
ate. He desires all records bearing
on the filing on the bay by James I
Ryan and others who are connected
with the Controller Hay Railroad and
Navigation company.
He says he Is convinced that if the
grab goes through, the Guggenhelms
will control the only feasible outlet
for the toal thus dominating the Al
askan railroad and clinching their
hold as though the Cunningham
claims hadn't been denied.
He said: "It seems evident that.
the interests who are seeking to mo
nopojize the natural resources of
Alaska, are not dependent on one
method. The control of transporta
tion to the coal fields is equivalent
t the control of the coal itself. Con
troller Hay Is only available deep wa
ter which is easy of access for the
development of the fields of coal."

sale of this species of the fish family.
Mr. McPhee came in this morning
and his trial was set for this after
noon in tho Justice court but it was
postponed until Sept. 12 as the de
fendant was not ready to appear.
Mr. Thompson declares he has pos

him for breakfast on both Saturday
and Sunday morning. Friends of
Mr. McPhee, however, are positive
that there is some mistake for they
assert that he has always been ex

only served trout to the persons who
had caught them.

I of the new schedule has' been mailed
j to each consumer in the city. The
new schedule is a complicated affair
and to the uniinitiated will seem dif
ficult of analysis.
In response to a request that he
furnish the public, through the East
Oregonlan, with an explanation of
the new schedule, Dr. F. W. Vincent,
local manager for the Pacific Power
& Light company has submitted the
following:
Pendleton, Oregon, June 26, 191L ;
Editor East Oregonlan:
Dear Sir: We take pleasure in en
closing you the new schedule of rate
Issued to all places supplied by th
Pacific Power & Light Co. with elec
trical current for lighting and pow
er purposes. The basis upon which
these rates have been worked out la
upon the principle of demand load
! wired ln. and the use as to time, also
. as to Quantity. It stands to reasoa
1 that' the man who demands of yoa
twenty horsepower of current, to u&e
when he pleases,- and as long as he
pleases (possibly only one hour per
day) should pay more in proportion
for the current consumed than the
man who demands twenty horse
power nf current and uses it ten hour
each and every day. Thus speaking
broadly; if one man has twenty K.
W. wired in and uses all his load twe
hours in the day. he will pay 12 cent
per K. W. lfour. On the other hand
If he uses his demand load four hour
in tlie day he will pay only 9c per K.
W. hour. In all cases the new sched
ule is not going to decrease the pres-
ent price paid; this being caused by
j the demand in comparison to the use
n hours, being so great. The new
schedule reduces the minimum de-
mand from $1.50 to $1.00; this alone
is going to bring the lights within
j the reach of many who before have
; denied themselves the pleasure, as well
as the economy of the same. While
our initial charges before were IT
cents, they are now 12 cents, a reduc
tion of nearly 33 per cent. You will
also notice that no listing is made
houses that wish to avail themselve
of them. I am of the opinion that
the rates as published will material
ly decrease the company's gross rev-
enue In the city as 'i whole, although.
they may raise the rates of a few.
To me. it looks impossible to get
out rates that would conform to the
many rates the different cities the
Pacific Power & Light Co. serve and
not hurt some one although the cities
as a whole would profit by the
"change. Our officers have been gath
ering data and working on this sched
ule for months, so as to get off a
near as possible, right the first time;
there are some schedules, undoubted
ly, to come out yet to meet certain
conditions that may arise, and I am
sure that such conditions will b
geip'rousiy met by our company. The
prices upon the motor load arc made
upon the same condition as the light
ing, so I think needs no special men
tion. As to prices on gas? We certainly
sec no way to make any reduction on
that commodity at present, except
where it is used in large quantities, as
it is costing us as much to manufac
ture it as we are getting for it. The
reduction would come, however, it
we could get a good rate on crude
oil Into Pendleton, so oil gas could
be made here as In Portland.
Another condition which would lcaj
to a reductin is: That every on

i sent out to every consumer, and ii
